That's in the Church qua Church. or just in the Church?

Every child knows this. However, you overuse it and it comes across as sophomoric. Often a simple employment of the word "as" would do.


Oh goody! A new anti-Mormon/left-wing meme: Loran "overuses" Latin and other foreign terms, common in academic and serious philosophical discourse, in an adolescent, high school level mentality drenched message board. This will now become, I do suppose, qua qua qua, formally de rigueur among the faux MDB cognoscenti. However, it is clear ipso facto, that my use of the term "qua," exempli gratia, here in this forum, show only that I use these terms in moderate quantity and only when useful in concentrating attention in situ in any text on a point or concept which, inter alia, I thought needed to be made.

Poor leftist Morlocks and progressives, and especially those within the Church. They have not yet learned that in absentia luci, tenebrae vincunt
Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us

It's not a new meme, Droops. People have been mocking your ludicrous writing style for a long time, and it's not just leftists. You're obviously just too stupid to recognize the problem. Wait, was that a bigoted statement against stupid people?

A bigot dislikes classes of people merely for belonging to those classes. It's not bigoted to dislike someone because he is a pompous and mean-spirited ass. That you can't write worth a damn is just gravy. And I was better read twenty years ago than you will ever be. :mrgreen:


You are an anti-Mormon bigot, "Bob." You despise the church and everyone in it who supports it, lives it, and comes to its defense (which is why you folks kiss the rings of people like Joanna Brooks and John Dehlin etc. They're in the Church, but not of it; they do not live it, defend it, and support it, and, in fact, they attack it, impugn it, and attempt to subvert it).

You belong here, Bob/Bluffalo, down here with the Morlocks, in the darkness, dressed in the filthy rags of your bigotry with the bones of those you have already consumed strewn around you.

Imagine how bad it would be if Droopy threw moderation to the wind. :eek:

Yes, about that. I fail to see how your quote supports your assertion that LTP is aiming at the left in Mormonism. I'm certain he could have plainly stated it if he had wished to and even named names as examples of how not to act or behave as a member.

What we need to do now is to get Droopy's hat away from him. Otherwise we risk him giving us:

Given the existence as uttered forth in the public works of Puncher and Wattmann of a personal God quaquaquaqua with white beard quaquaquaqua outside time without extension who from the heights of divine apathia divine athambia divine aphasia loves us dearly with some exceptions for reasons unknown but time will tell and suffers like the divine Miranda with those who for reasons unknown but time will tell are plunged in torment plunged in fire whose fire flames if that continues and who can doubt it will fire the firmament that is to say blast hell to heaven so blue still and calm so calm with a calm which even though intermittent is better than nothing but not so fast and considering what is more that as a result of the labors left unfinished crowned by the Acacacacademy of Anthropopopometry of Essy-in-Possy of Testew and Cunard it is established beyond all doubt all other doubt than that which clings to the labors of men that as a result of the labors unfinished of Testew and Cunnard it is established as hereinafter but not so fast for reasons unknown that as a result of the public works of Puncher and Wattmann it is established beyond all doubt that in view of the labors of Fartov and Belcher left unfinished for reasons unknown...

"I have interpreted a passing comment from a milquetoast Mormon televangelist as affirmation that anyone who does not agree with the ultra-right wing talking points I parrot, or the implausible religious mythos that informs my worldview, is a puppet of a scary invisible man who tries to get us to masturbate and watch rated R movies as revenge for the demigod who lives on the planet Kolob rejecting his plan that would force us to become deities."
